1 The human touch in technology Maintenance free Fiber Optic Gyro compass ALPHAFIBERCOURSE

2 ALPHAFIBERCOURSE GYRO COMPASS STATE OF THE ART FOG (FIBER OPTIC) STRAPDOWN TECHNOLOGY HEADING, ROLL, PITCH AND RATE OF TURN APPLICATIONS The Alphafibercourse is an environmentally friendly high quality product for marine applications without the need of periodic maintenance. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS High speed vessels RIB s Mega Yachts Offshore Patrol Vessels Survey vessels Dredgers DP operation vessels Cruise ships Seismic vessels Anchor handlers Platform vessels Fast Patrol boats Vessels with a helicopter deck Vessels needing roll & pitch info Military vessels * Research vessels * Export license required outside the EU FOG Sensor with optional docking station By connecting the main Alphafibercourse sensor to the docking station, 12 repeater stations are easily connected up galvanically isolated. In order to prevent failures of the system caused by external factors. Via the docking station it is also possible to connect the DNV OSV approved Alphatron interswitch for multiple heading sensor applications. The docking station is fitted with a digital heading display. FOG Sensor All-in-one high accuracy Altitude and Heading Reference Sensor Heading, Roll, Pitch, rate of turn Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG), unique strapdown technology No spinning element, no gas cavity hence maintenance free Compact, lean and reliable Appropriate for all marine applications Multiple interfaces aiding sensors for a range of applications Ethernet for fast and easy integration Time stamping for all data Low latency for real time control loops IXBLUE FOG inside
